PAGE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1931 LINDSAY COUNCIL TOIRITS ACTION 'VERY DOURTEUL Practice . of 4 Borrowing Money Against Uncollected Arrears of Taxes Condemned Lindsay, .Feb. 12.--A specin meeting of the town council will be held to investigate the subject Ma- yor 8. Alcorn introduced at the fin- ante committee meeting when he charged that lack of aggressiveness on the part of T. R. James in col lecting taxes, and the action of last year's counell in: borrowing money on uncollectable taxes had put the town in a bad way financially, aud that were this method of carryng to be followed it would not be long until the town was bankrupt. He brought in figures to show that of the assots of $213,906.85 credited by the auditors' reports at Breaks up Gas "In The Stomach Don't suffer from dangerous gas pressing around your heart, from sourness, aeldity, bloating or pain of indigestion.

Mr. Alcorn pointed out that in reality this means that the town has real liabilties of $207,- 220.68 and veal assets of only «85, 996.86. Method Insecure Mr. Alcorn in referring to this deplorable" practice siid that last rear the tax rate had been kept down two niilly by issuing deben- tures that permitted the town to borrow money on taxes that the sollector had gworn were uncollect- able. 'This is very insecure," said Mayor Alcorn, "and I don't know where it will end. If the taxes are really uncollectable, then the town is bankrupt. That's all I can see, Are We going to make an' effort to rollect them?" Alderman H, I. Black wanted to "now If it would be possible to get a 'more energetie collector. Then the committee referred to the auditors's report which sald: "In 1980 the rate was kept down, two mills by the issue of deben- tures against the arrears of taxes. It may be possible to repeat these again in 1981, but it is limited by the amount of arrears sharod against lands and only a certain percentage of the amount can be raised in that matter." Moves for Investigation Dr. J. A. White said that the question of borrowing on unpaid taxes 1s staggering. and he moved that Messrs. Alcorn and Begg be wppointed a committee to investi gute these figures carefully and re- port ut the next meeting with sug: gostions ax ta what should be done Mayor Alcorn and Chalrman Begg wemed to be of the opinjon that the town should get a more cner: gotic collector, and Mr. Degg also eadd that last year's council made a grave mistake in borrowing on these sums that hud been certifie uncollectable.

SHUTS, HERT706, ARF COMPARER AS EMPIRE FIGURES Whriter Says Smuts Would Be Outstanding in Eng- land--Hertzog Stormy London, [IFeb, Sy Interesting estimates of the personalities of General Jumes Barry Hertzog, Prime Minister of South Africa, and General Jan Christiaan Smuts, Op- position leader. are submitted in General Sir David Harris' book "Pioneer Soldier and Politician," published here by Sampson Low For 60 years Sir David Harris, who is a cousin to the famous Barney Barnato has oceupled a place all his own in the political, military, and social lite of South Africa. "It Smuts were a Britigher," writes Sir David, "England would be proud of him, the greatest and most important positions would he open to him, The House of Lords would welcome him, he would be an acquisition ta the House Commons, but in the country of his ancestors and birth a large number of his own countrymen, from feel- ings of jealousy, petty spite, and for political purposes, have never a good word for him, and oppose and attack him most persistently beyond the bounds of fair and rea- sonable eriticism. Their jealousy Ia practically a sign of thédir own in- ferfority. "As a rule Smuts 1s calm and cool in the most exciting debates, and when being personally attack- ed. 1 saw him lose his temper on one occasion only when Prime Min. ister. The front opposition bench were condemning General Botha a few years after his death, and los- ing all control of themselves, ac- cused this great patriotic states- man and soldier of being a traitor to his country. Smuts, with all his calmness and self-control, could not stand this. 1 shall never fore get his scathing language when re- plying to this gross libel; it will re-|' main indelibly imprinted In wy memory. I can almost see Smuts, when replying, pointing the finger of scorn at the opposition and say- ing heatedly, 'You remind me of a lot of yelping curs snarling round the grave of a dead lion'; could anything be more effective General Hertzog, according to Sir David Harris, appears to have two distinct individualities. Pri- vately he is most courteous, kind- hearted and considerate, & most ut- foctionate husband, with a love for his children that could not be ex- celled. Socially, it is a pleasure to he is a natural conversationulist, does not put on airs, nor presume on his high posi tion. He is a good friend, and has assisted relatives when his income was very limited and perhaps only suficlont for his own personal re- quirements, Apart from poltting, he is a most lovable man, but this is where we meet the second per- sonality. Harris asserts: "In debate he allows hls passion to ran away from his better judg ment, and he lashes out right and left, General Bmuts being generally selected for hig great fund of Invec- tive. In very heated party debates he never pours ofl on the troubled | waters, but Increases it to fever heat by going one better than any of his extremist supporters. It is a great pity that he cannot exer- cleo control of himself on there oc- caslons, for if he could do so he would make an ideal leader. "That he is unfriendly disposed to England Is apparent' to most peo ple. His twostream policy, cosnion movement. flag question, and German Treaty alone prove this up to the hilt, not to mention the desire to limit the purchasing of English manufacturers, a short- sighted policy, considering that England is far and away South Af- rica's best customer for fits agri- cultural products, and would he In a position to buy more If South Af- rica Increased her purchases from the United Kingdom-- which she could do were It not restrictions im- nosed by the Nationalist Party."
